Communicating family experiences of caring for young children with disability through imagery
In July 2018, we received funding to conduct a public engagement project entitled ‘Let Hope Grow’ aiming to raise public awareness around caregivers’ experiences of child disability in Uganda. The project aims to use artistic imagery to communicate and celebrate family experiences of living with a child with disability, promote inclusion and support early intervention.

“I always bring my neighbour’s children and they play with her. I put her in the chair and she likes to watch television. I have a basket where I put her dolls.”
